Danny Meyer to open seasonal restaurant

Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group will open a seasonal restaurant at Bryant Park. It has signed a four-year lease deal to operate an eatery, called Public Fare, and catering venue linked to the park's seasonal ice skating rink, according to The Wall Street Journal. The menu for the casual restaurant is being finalized but it is expected to open late October to early March.

The 210-seat Public Fare will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as alcohol. In the past, Bryant Park Corp., the nonprofit that manages the park, has hired a single company to run the rink, restaurant and holiday market. This year, it decided to work with experts in each area. Rent was not disclosed for the deal.
